An antenna connector has: a tubular case formed with a connector base on one end side in an axial direction and formed with a cylindrical external contact part on another end side in the axial direction; a shaft-shaped center contact part disposed on a center shaft of the external contact part; and tubular insulators disposed between the external contact part and the center contact part. A space is formed between the external contact part and the insulators. The external contact part is formed with a through-hole for draining water that establishes communication between the space and outside of the external contact part.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An antenna connector comprising: a case having a tubular shape and formed with a connector base on one end side in an axial direction, and formed with an external contact part having a cylindrical shape on another end side in the axial direction; a center contact part having a shaft shape and disposed on a center axis of the external contact part; and an insulator having a tubular shape and disposed between the external contact part and the center contact part, wherein a space is formed between the external contact part and the insulator, and the external contact part is formed with at least one through-hole for draining water that establishes communication between the space and outside of the external contact part.
2. The antenna connector according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one through-hole comprises a plurality of the through-holes, and the external contact part is formed with the plurality of the through-holes spaced apart from each another in a circumferential direction.
3. The antenna connector according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one through-hole is formed at the external contact part near the connector base.
4. An electronic device comprising: a first unit having a display; and a second unit having an input part, the electronic device being constructed such that the first unit and the second unit are detachable, wherein the second unit includes a socket capable of housing a predetermined side of the first unit, and the socket includes the antenna connector according to claim 1 on a surface of a portion in which the first unit is housed.
5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein in a usage state where the surface of the portion, in which the first unit is housed, of the socket is directed upward, the antenna connector is in a state where the external contact part is located above the connector base.
